Course Description

Introduction to the problems and methods of operations research and information engineering focusing on problem areas (including inventory, network design, and resource allocation), the situations in which these problems arise, and several standard solution techniques. In the computational laboratory, students encounter problem simulations and use some standard commercial software packages.

When Offered Fall, spring.

Permission Note Not open to: ORIE upper-level majors.

Outcomes

Understand the breadth of quantitative decision situations that arise in engineering, industry, and society.
